Insurance Trust Fund to support welfare of public servants

Several programmes will be launched by the National Insurance Trust Fund for the welfare of public servants.

Commenting on the programmes, Chairman of the National Insurance Trust Fund Senaka Abeygunasekara said that an electronic card will be introduced for the use of Public servants.

He said that under this new scheme the public servants will be issued a card to be handed over to any Government Hospital in the country in order to receive medical treatment instead of the present system of reimbursement of receipts handed over by the employees. He said a separate ward will be allocated for government servants in all government hospitals which will be maintained by the National Insurance Trust Fund.
